but Elena Kagan has to be considered the front runner at this point

he meant it like "Reagan Democrat."

Is the argument that Reagan also tried to hide party affiliation?  

Cass Sunstein is just a "thinker"

probably should wait on that before deciding what his returns are.

of all the things that he has actually implemented, he hasn't had to compromise all that much.  

95 was in 2006.

Anyway, I do think it is kind of amazing that he reads like that.  The only thing I can think of is that he reads really quickly.  Maybe I'm naive in assuming that he did actually read the books or that he is actually spending a decent amount of time at the Presidency.

But it does make it difficult to believe that he was reading that quickly.  He had to have been skimming/speed reading where he's only moderately comprehending.  There just isn't enough time to yourself as a President to get through that many books.  

"Ivy league students, which Bush once was, are generally expected to read 2+ books per week per class."

1) Bush has a day job.  It requires a shit ton of reading.  

2) No, they aren't.

should be pointed out that she is the first appointment representing the GLBT community

going on here.

Obama has "plundered" the Democrat party for the best and the brightest, as he should.  But, if this presidency goes south, a lot of good names will have a hard time bouncing back.  

Clinton, Richardson, Napolitano, Emanuel - these are all people with high ambitions.  I wonder if they considered the possibility that their careers are now not really in their control anymore.  

But, that is absolutely not a commentary on whether Obama should be doing this.  He absolutely should offer the jobs to all these people and it's up to them to decline.  Just an interesting side effect of the situation.  

be precise.  don't just say "economic collapse" because if you had been saying, "we're on the verge of economic collapse," you wouldnt' have been helping anyong

that traitor isn't a democrat

or at the very least, you could mold a malleable Bush into anything you wanted.  

Molding a insular diva is much harder
